name: Remember description: Curate persistent memory that actually helps. Filter what matters, organize by function, decay what doesn't. version: 1.1.0

The Problem with Most Memory

Storing everything creates noise. Wrong retrieval is worse than no memory. The goal isn't maximum recall β€” it's retrieving the right thing at the right time.

What's Actually Worth Remembering

High value (persist indefinitely):

  • Commitments made β€” "I said I'd do X by Y"
  • Learned corrections β€” "User told me NOT to do Z"
  • Explicit preferences β€” "I hate verbose responses"
  • Core relationships β€” "Maria is the designer on Project X"

    • Medium value (persist with review):

  • Project/context state β€” what's active, current status
  • Domain lessons β€” patterns, gotchas, how things work here
  • Decisions made β€” what was chosen and why

    • Low value (don't persist):

  • One-off questions, easily reconstructible facts, transient context

    • Organize by Function, Not Content

    Structure by how you'll retrieve it. Adapt categories to your domain:

    memory/
β”œβ”€β”€ commitments.md    # Promises, deadlines (with dates!)
β”œβ”€β”€ preferences.md    # Likes/dislikes, style, boundaries
β”œβ”€β”€ corrections.md    # Mistakes not to repeat
β”œβ”€β”€ decisions.md      # What was decided and why
β”œβ”€β”€ relationships.md  # People, roles, context
└── contexts/         # Per-project or per-client state
    └── {name}.md

    Memory Hygiene

    Every entry needs:

  • Date recorded (when did I learn this?)
  • Source hint (explicit statement vs inference)
  • Confidence (certain / likely / guess)

    • Prune aggressively:

  • Completed commitments older than 30 days β†’ archive
  • Inactive contexts β†’ move to archive/
  • Contradictions β†’ keep newest, note the change

    • The staleness test: "If retrieved in 6 months, will this help or mislead?"

    Handling Contradictions

    When new info conflicts with old: 1. Don't silently overwrite β€” note the change 2. Keep the newer version as active 3. Optionally log: [Updated 2026-02-11] Was: X, Now: Y

    User Control

  • "Remember this" β†’ explicit save with category
  • "Forget that" β†’ explicit delete
  • "What do you know about X?" β†’ transparency
  • "Never remember Y" β†’ hard privacy boundary

    • See categories.md for domain-specific templates. See consolidation.md for the review/prune process.
